A large group of people from the Bai family came to this countryside, which must have caused a lot of commotion.
There are rumors that the legitimate daughter of the Bai family will die soon. Such rumors, which are both true and false, have caused quite a stir in Beijing!
Such rumors quickly spread to the palace. When the emperor heard the news, he immediately called back the spies he sent to monitor Bai Yanqing!
"What? Her maid is missing?"
A little maid was insignificant in the eyes of the emperor. However, what the spy said next made the emperor unhappy.
"Reporting to your Majesty, the man in black who fought with his subordinates that night... was not from the Chen Kingdom!"
The emperor's spies replied respectfully. Their hesitant tone made the emperor aware of the crisis!
Not from Chen country?
Is this Bai family really capable? Collaborating with the enemy and treason?
The emperor's first reaction was that Bai Jingxuan had rebelled!
"Reporting to your Majesty, those people...are not going for Miss Bai's family! They are...seemingly going for her maid!"
The emperor's spy continued to report back.
The tea cup in the emperor's hand was no longer stable! Bai Yanqing was just a little maid. What ability was she? What was her identity and background?
"Check! Check for me! Find out where that little maid is from!"
The emperor smashed the tea cup in his hand and was filled with anger!
"yes!"
Several people left in response.
The hurried departure was in order.
Looking at the broken teacups on the ground, the emperor's eyes revealed a bit of fierceness!
This Bai Yanqing is really not a fuel-efficient lamp! She alone has already made the emperor's head turn gray with worry, but at this time, the little maid next to her is doing all these tricks again!
Where does the mysterious man in black come from?
The dignified eldest lady of the Bai family couldn't even turn the palm of the emperor's hand, let alone a little maid?!
After the emperor calmed down, he finally felt that he had figured it out. Little did he know that his act of underestimating the enemy would bring him so much trouble in the future!
…
In the days after Cai Xing disappeared, Bai Yanqing was sick all day long, lingering on the bed. No matter how much the Bai family tried to persuade her, she remained unmoved.
On this day, Yuan Li coaxed Bai Yanqing for more than half an hour, but she still refused to take a sip of the medicine or eat a grain of rice! Just when Yuan Li was at a loss what to do, Yun Qi came back, and behind him, there was a girl!
"master!"
Seeing that the savior was back, Yuan Li hurriedly got up and ran towards Yun Qi. Looking at Yuan Li's pitiful appearance, Yuan Ziyue couldn't bear it!
"She still won't eat?"
Yun Qi frowned and glanced at Bai Yanqing, who was lying motionless on the bed.
Yuan Li nodded, his eyes full of helplessness and heartache. Ever since Cai Xing disappeared, Bai Yanqing has not been serious about eating. In just a few days, Bai Yanqing has lost a lot of weight!
"Lady!"
Yun Qi forced a smile and walked to Bai Yanqing's bedside. Looking at her, the white and round face in the past was now skinny! The bright and moist eyes in the past had lost their luster and were not even a little bit angry.
there is none left!
Seeing this, Yunqi felt extremely distressed!
"Madam, look, I brought someone back for you!"
Yunqi turned sideways and a woman walked out from behind him.
"My slave Mo Ran, I have met the young lady."
The girl's voice is clear and sweet.
Bai Yanqing turned her head slightly and glanced at the girl in front of the bed. She was delicate and clean, and she looked like a neat person.
Bai Yanqing turned her head away, seemingly not wanting to pay attention to Yun Qi.
"Madam, from now on, Mo Ran will stay and serve you. Yuan Li is clumsy and may cause trouble."
Yun Qi sat beside Bai Yanqing's bed and spoke to her patiently.
Bai Yanqing remained silent. Her state made everyone anxious!
"Mo Ran, go and cook some food and bring it over! If my wife doesn't want to eat, then you have to cook it until it suits her appetite!"
Yunqi said sharply.
Mo Ran stepped back in response. Yuan Li glanced at Bai Yanqing on the bed and followed Mo Ran out!
Yunqi helped Bai Yanqing up and let her lean in his arms. Her thin body was leaning against Yunqi's chest, without any weight at all! Yunqi's brows were furrowed deeper!
"Madam, I know that Cai Xing's departure is a big blow to you! However, she has grown up and has her own way to go! You shouldn't be selfish, let her stay with you forever!"
Yun Qi's words were like a heavy blow, hitting Bai Yanqing's heart hard every word.
"Yes, I am selfish, then go find someone who is not selfish!"
Bai Yanqing was full of grievances and had nowhere to vent. After hearing Yun Qi's words, "You shouldn't be selfish, let her stay with you forever!", Bai Yanqing completely collapsed! She beat Yun Qi's chest, and then
He pushed her far away. In the end, he got into bed angrily and refused to pay attention to Yunqi anymore!
Looking at Bai Yanqing's behavior, Yun Qi was also helpless, but fortunately, she was finally willing to speak! Even though it angered her, it at least proved that she was still rational and conscious, and had not completely sunk.
Hearing Bai Yanqing's sobs coming from inside the quilt, and looking at the ruffled quilt, Yunqi felt a little more relaxed!
It's good if you can vent it out.
Not long after, Mo Ran brought over some food. Porridge and side dishes were Bai Yanqing's favorite food on weekdays. Yun Qi and Yuan Li must have told Mo Ran about these.
"The slave serves the young lady to eat."
After Mo Ran put down the food in his hand, he walked to Bai Yanqing's bed and pulled down the quilt covering her head.
Maybe it was because she had been covered in the quilt for too long, or maybe she had been crying for too long. Bai Yanqing's face was so red that she could hardly breathe! Fortunately, Mo Ran discovered it in time, otherwise, Bai Yanqing could really do it hard.
Suffocate yourself to death!
"Miss, it's a small thing to be angry, but it's a big thing to starve! Only when you're full can you have the strength to hit His Highness!"
Mo Ran spoke patiently to Bai Yanqing, without caring about the expression of Yun Qi standing beside him!
Yuan Ziyue and Yuan Li looked at each other in confusion: And... are you so persuading people to eat?
Seeing that Bai Yanqing was still unmoved, Mo Ran sighed and had to use her special trick!
"Yuan Li, help! Hold the lady down!"
Obviously, Mo Ran and Yuan Li are acquaintances.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Li quickly stepped forward, helped Bai Yanqing up, and then hugged her tightly from behind!
Bai Yanqing, who hadn't eaten much for several days, of course couldn't resist Yuan Li! Yuan Li was a martial arts practitioner and was already stronger than an ordinary woman. Plus, Bai Yanqing was weak and weak, so how could she break free?
After Yuan Li fixed Bai Yanqing's body, Mo Ran picked up the porridge bowl on the side, scooped up a tablespoon of porridge, and put it to Bai Yanqing's mouth!
How could Bai Yanqing be willing to give in? She closed her lips tightly and refused to open her mouth no matter what!
I thought that Mo Ran would be helpless against Bai Yanqing now, but unexpectedly, Mo Ran was also cruel! She lifted up Bai Yanqing's quilt and reached out to scratch Bai Yanqing's creaking nest!
Bai Yanqing has always been ticklish, and only Cai Xing knew about this. Who knew that Mo Ran hit the itch and scratched the itch, and Bai Yanqing couldn't hold it in, opened her mouth, and burst out laughing!
Seeing this, Mo Ran quickly put the spoonful of porridge into Bai Yanqing's mouth!
Unexpectedly, Bai Yanqing couldn't react to this sudden porridge and actually choked!
Seeing Bai Yanqing who was coughing and out of breath, Yun Qi felt heartbroken!
"Mo Ran! What are you doing!"
Yun Qi stepped forward angrily and pushed Yuan Li and Mo Ran away. He hugged Bai Yanqing, whose face turned red due to coughing, and kept patting her on the back to calm her down!
Finally, Bai Yanqing recovered, but she indeed no longer had any desire to eat.
"Slave, I'm rude. I hope you won't mind it. Everything is just to allow you to eat."
Mo Ran knelt down to apologize without being humble or arrogant. Her straight back seemed to be her last bit of stubbornness.
Bai Yanqing leaned in Yun Qi's arms without even looking at Mo Ran. Bai Yanqing didn't like Mo Ran's violent feeding method. It was better to pick stars. No matter how bad Bai Yanqing was in her mood, she could be patient and gentle.
, coaxing Bai Yanqing to eat. He would never treat Bai Yanqing in such a violent way.
Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing's tears fell down the corners of her eyes again, until they slipped into Yun Qi's front.
Yun Qi felt helpless and distressed when he noticed the wetness in his chest. How can he make Bai Yanqing eat?
Mo Ran picked up the already cold porridge on the side and silently left.
Yun Qi said that he would let Mo Ran cook until Bai Yanqing was willing to open his mouth to eat.
When he thought of this, Mo Ran got into the kitchen again.
"You should at least eat something. If this continues, your body will collapse! How will you go hunting for stars then?"
Yunqi looked at the thin girl in his arms and finally gave in.
"Really? Can I...see Cai Xing again?"
Bai Yanqing suddenly raised her head from Yunqi's arms, staring at Yunqi expectantly with a pair of tearful eyes.
"As long as you eat well and take good care of yourself, I will accompany you to search for stars when I relax about the things at hand."
Yun Qi raised his hand and touched Bai Yanqing's black hair distressedly, then nodded and responded to her.
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing's eyes lit up instantly!
"Yuan Qi! Bring the porridge, I'll eat it!"
When Yuan Li heard this, his face lit up with joy, and then he hurried to the kitchen to serve porridge.
"Moran! What are you doing?"
Yuan Li was stunned when he saw the unkempt Mo Ran emerging from behind the stove!
Is this Mo Ran going to burn down the kitchen?
"The master said that he wants me to cook the food until it suits the lady's appetite. I will try making some more."
Mo Ran spoke, but his hands and feet did not stop at all.
"No need! Miss Bai said she wanted some porridge!"
Yuan Li took Mo Ran's hand and told her to stop working.
Hearing this, Mo Ran dropped the kitchen knife in his hand and quickly picked up the porridge on the stove!
"I'll be hotter!"
After saying that, Mo Ran poured the already cold white porridge back into the pot to heat it up.
Yuan Li looked at Mo Ran who was busy in front of the stove. For a moment, he thought of that little girl who knew how to cook!
I don’t know when I will see Cai Xing again...
When Yuan Li and Mo Ran entered the room carrying the reheated porridge and side dishes, Bai Yanqing had already gotten out of bed!
I saw Bai Yanqing, neatly dressed and with neatly combed hair. Except for her slimmer figure and lack of energy, there was nothing unusual about her!
Looking at the girl in front of him, Yuan Li knew that she had survived for the time being!
"Mo Ran!"
Yun Qi glanced at Mo Ran. Seeing this, Mo Ran quickly placed the food he was holding on the table.
Yun Qi carefully helped Bai Yanqing sit down and watched her pick up the chopsticks and take a few bites of the food. Yun Qi was so excited that he was even happier than if he had eaten it himself!
